The meeting of the planets in the Covenant star system in the United Parliament Center building has been held for five consecutive days.

Today is the sixth day.

If the first day of learning of the loss of the Tey star system enveloped the entire Parliament Center building in tension, on the sixth day, today, the Parliament building was almost enveloped in despair.

There was a dead silence in the huge conference room.

In the speaker's seat, the twenty-six speakers had mixed expressions.

In the seats of the councillors, hundreds of parliamentarians had dull expressions.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the stereoscopic projection in the center of the conference room.

I don't know how many times I've seen it, but when the picture changes again and starts from the beginning, looking at the millions of super-giant aliens that suddenly leap out of the void, everyone's hearts skip a beat, and despair once again takes control of their minds.

When I saw this picture for the first time, some people were still lucky.

After all, being huge doesn't mean being powerful, just like a "Celestial Star Clan" Origin Warrior can easily kill a giant beast that is several times his size, as long as the battleship concentrates its firepower, it may not be too difficult for them to kill these super giant aliens.

However, the merciless truth, like a cold slap in the face, was thrown hard in their faces.

Even the most terrifying space weapons were struck continuously, but they failed to break the energy shields outside these alien bodies.

If it was a warship of the United States of the Star Alliance, even if it was the main ship, the energy shield would have collapsed long ago under the same blow.

The picture goes on and on.

Until those super-giant alien torrents rushed into the defensive array, the picture suddenly flashed, and it became when they had just jumped out of space.

"Turn it off."

In the speaker's seat, on an empty seat, a person from the Celestial Star Clan with an extremely pale face slowly made a voice in the three-dimensional projection.

The stereoscopic projection stagnates and then disappears.

Almost everyone's eyes were focused on that projection.

The paler the complexion, the older the Celestial Star people.

And this pale-faced and somewhat scary Celestial Star Clan, his real age is almost a mystery.

"Patrick", President of the Senate of the United Parliament, leader of the Celestial Clan.

It had been many years since he had been in the limelight, and in fact since the formation of the United States of the Covenant, Patrick had disappeared from the political arena of the United States since the apparent transfer of power to the Parliament.

This time, apparently, he could no longer dive.

"Can you still contact Congressman Bloomer?"

"Holy Gate No. 9, can you still get in touch?"

There was a moment of silence before Patrick spoke slowly.

His voice was weak, and his whole person looked bad.

"Senator, we've been trying to keep in touch, but there's been no response."

At a workbench in the corner of the conference room, a staff member stood up and answered respectfully.

"How far is the fleet from the Ninth Holy Gate?"

Patrick asked again.

"The Venus fleet is a little closer, and it will arrive at the Ninth Holy Gate in about six quarters."

"The Black Star Fleet and the Chenxing Fleet are a little far away, and it is expected that they will arrive a quarter of a century later than the Venus Fleet."

"The Cloud Star Fleet is farther away from the Ninth Holy Gate, three times later than the previous three fleets."

In the other direction of the workbench, another Celestial Star stood up and responded.

The wrinkled forehead squeezed out furrows, and Patrick fell silent.

When he didn't speak, the entire conference room remained absolutely calm.

The other races were used to it, as they all knew that the Celestial Star Clan controlled the council.

Among the Celestial Star Clan, Patrick's status is unique.

"Contact the Venus, Blackstar, and Celestial Fleets, as well as the Blackstar Fleet, and have them stand by at the last jump point from the Ninth Holy Gate."

"In addition, the council immediately coordinated and arranged, and mobilized another fifty-five fleets to rush to the Ninth Holy Gate."

"After all the fleets and the four fleets such as Venus synchronize their speed and distance, the fifty-nine fleets will rush to the Ninth Holy Gate together to try to recover there."

After a while, Patrick finally gave the order with difficulty.

His expression was complicated.

Obviously, it was not easy for him to make such a decision.

"With the unexplained Canstar fleet, that's sixty fleets. Senator, that's one-fifth of the fleet of our Covenant United States! ”

"The Ninth Holy Gate is to be recovered, but we also have to consider the price!"

"Senator Patrick, have you thought about it? If our reconquest fails, will it be worth it to hitch on sixty more fleets? ”

"With one-fifth of the fleet, to recover a Holy Gate, it's not that the Holy Gate is not important, it's just that it's lost its original intention."

…………

As soon as Patrick's words fell, the members in the speaker's seat were still silent, but the seats were like a frying pan, and many members spoke excitedly.

Of course, this is not to say that they do not respect or revere the old man.

It's just that no one will back down in the face of an issue that affects the overall situation of the United States of the Star Alliance.

The Star Covenant unites all nations, with a total of only 300 fleets.

If these sixty fleets were destroyed at the ninth "Holy Gate", what it would mean, everyone in the room knew very well.

"You are wrong, the Senate Speaker's decision is correct. The Ninth Holy Gate must be recaptured, even if we pay the price of two hundred or even three hundred fleets. ”

"That's right, if the Ninth Holy Gate can't be taken back, the alien civilization will be able to occupy more other Holy Gates with the help of this springboard."

"yes, if things get to that point, how can we resist them."

…………

If someone is against it, someone is in favor of it.

There were also quite a few people in the parliamentary seats who voted in favor of Patrick's decision.

"Be quiet, be quiet!"

At the sound of a gavel tapping on the table, a bloated body stood up from the speaker's seat.

Just like a bear, the "hairy people" with strong fecundity, their strong clansmen occupy 10% of the bottom labor force of the United States of the Star Alliance, because the population base is too large, so there is no shortage of some particularly smart and wise existences among them.

Under such circumstances, it is only natural for Warren, the patriarch of the "Mao Clan", to serve as a speaker.

As the Speaker, of course, he has the power to maintain order in the meeting, no matter how Warren is more often just an ornament in the eyes of many Speakers and lawmakers.

"I personally approve of the Senate's proposal."

"Just here, I want to ask a question."

"Why did a group of large and amazing aliens suddenly appear when the Tei star system has been occupied, and they want to go to the direction of the Tey star system through the Holy Gate?"

"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't they have quickly expanded outward through the Holy Gate after occupying the Tey star system?"

"Don't fool ourselves with the reason that they just want to take down the Ninth Holy Gate, in fact, we all know very well that there are already more than 200 million monsters in the direction of the Teysa Galaxy heading towards the Ninth Holy Gate, and if they want to occupy it directly through the Holy Gate, then it will be useless for us to garrison more warships."

"In such a situation, don't you have any other thoughts?"

After saying this in a sullen voice, Speaker Warren habitually shrugged his huge nose, and then sat down slowly.
